摘要: A method (200, 400) of compressing an input image (201) is described. The method (200, 400) starts by extracting image gradient data representing pixel differences along contours of the image. Next, the method forms an edge based image from the image gradient data and a low resolution image derived from the input image. The method then computes a residual image representing a difference between the edge based image and the input image, and finally compresses the input image by encoding the image gradient data, the low resolution image, and the residual image.

摘要: An image recording apparatus (2000) is disclosed, which comprises forming elements (2002) for forming an image, a memory (2006) indicating relative desirability of utilising the forming elements (2002) for forming the image, and processing means (2008) for computing image recording signals using input image signals (2012) and the stored data. The use of a particular forming element is thereby biased dependent upon the relative desirability data of other forming elements, the corresponding input signal for the particular forming element, and a term for the particular forming element.

摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed which permit a seamless halftoning of an image by halftoning regions of the image independently and/or in parallel. Each region of the image being arbitrarily determined, and being halftoned on the basis of halftoned pixel results of pixels within a predetermined neighborhood of the region. The arrangement providing a greater flexibility in the independent halftoning of the regions, while providing substantially seamless joins between abutting halftoned regions of the image. Further, the arrangement also provides a mechanism for parallel processing (halftoning) of abutting regions of an image with substantially seamless results.

摘要: An image processing system in which a computer image is halftoned by halftoning a current pixel using error diffusion, with a halftoned output value of the current pixel being determined using errors derived from substantially all previously halftoned pixels of the image. Output error values are determined for each pixel, and are acted upon by an error diffusion mask of geometrically reducing values. In certain instances, previously halftoned pixels are divided into two or more groups to obtain a desired contribution from previously halftoned pixels.

摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for rendering a piece-wise smooth image are disclosed. The image is specified by image values along opposite sides of paths. The paths are converted to chains of straight line segments, and image values are set for each side of each segment. Coefficients are determined for each line segment. A first coefficient for each segment is based on a difference between specified image values on opposite sides of the segment. A second coefficient for each segment is obtained using an average of image values on opposite sides of the segment and a system of linear equations. Each image value is calculated as the addition of a sum over all segments of the product of first coefficient for a segment with a dipole field value for the segment and a sum over all segments of the product of second coefficient for a segment with a logarithmic field value for the segment.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for processing an image is disclosed. First an output value of a first current pixel (inx,y−1), which is not at an edge of the image, is determined using a first influence value (Wx,y−2) for a first current pixel which equals a first sum, over a first set of pixels, of the product of a pixel weight value and a corresponding pixel value, where the pixel weight value is substantially equal to a weight factor (X, Z) raised to the power (i) of the distance of the pixel from the first current pixel. An output value for a second current pixel (inx,y), is determined using a second influence value (Wx,y−1) determined as either a product of a weight value reducing factor (X) and the first influence value, or a product of weight value reducing factor and the sum of the first influence value and a value for the first current pixel, where the second influence value equals a second sum over a second set of pixels of the product of a pixel weight value and a corresponding pixel value, and where each pixel weight value is substantially equal to a weight factor raised to the power of the distance of the pixel from the second current pixel.
